Radioprotective and radiomitigative effects of BP-C2, a novel lignin-derived polyphenolic composition with ammonium molybdate, in two mouse strains exposed to total body irradiation

Abstract

BP-C2 mitigates radiation-induced damage in mid-lethal range of radiation doses. Effects are mediated by enhancement of extramedullar hematopoiesis in the spleen and a protective effect on the intestinal epithelium.
